I was one of the 35,000 who gathered in Independence Park on a warm Friday evening to hear the White House hopeful. The sea of people sprawled across nearly three city blocks. Unfortunately, the messiah, err, candidate, was noticeably tired at 9:00pm, the message was more partisan than I had hoped, and there weren't any mass healings. I was really wishing for that pain in my lower back to go away.
